Beginning Quiltmaking with Rebecca
Learn every step of the quilt-making process in this class designed for beginning sewists. The class project is an alternating 4-patch and plain block quilt with two borders and the pattern is included in the class fee. You will learn fabric selection, cutting, piecing, pressing, borders, basting, quilting, trimming, and binding. After taking this class you'll be ready to make any number of quilt projects. There's nothing like a handmade quilt - now you can make your own!
